InterCall Announces Partnership With Climate Action to Promote Green Benefits of Conferencing
Global conferencing leader aligns with Sustainable Development International and United Nations Environment Program for worldwide communications initiative
(CSRwire) CHICAGO, IL - January 3, 2007 - /PRNewswire/ -- InterCall, the world's
largest conferencing provider, is now a Platinum sponsor of Climate
Action, a joint development of Sustainable Development International and
the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) promoting
environmentally-responsible business.
Through an upcoming book, Web site, and marketing program, InterCall
and Climate Action will educate businesses, governments and non-profits on
what they can do to reduce their carbon footprint and reduce their impact
on climate change. Other environmentally friendly best practices, new
technologies and practical initiatives to help companies and governments
create a more sustainable business will also be shared in the publication.
Features authored by government entities, intergovernmental organisations,
the public and the private sector will raise awareness of the latest market
trends, environmental threats and opportunities in response to climate
change.
"InterCall is proud to support an organisation that will be a powerful
agent for change in the Green movement," said Carolyn Campbell, Senior
Director of Marketing for InterCall. "While InterCall has already
launched its own environmental-awareness initiative,
GreenConferencing.com, through the power of this partnership we will have
a much stronger voice in helping businesses realize the carbon savings
they can achieve through conferencing and collaboration services."
Climate Action brings together six influential organisations concerned
with the successful mitigation of climate change: UNEP, Ceres and its
Investor Network on Climate Risk, The Carbon Trust, FTSE4Good and the Pew
Center on Global Climate Change.
